10 Movie Fates Worse Than Death From 2021

10. No Time To Die - Watching The Love Of Your Life Explode (After Being Infected With Nanobots) 

A lot was made of the potential fate of Daniel Craig's 007 coming into his long awaited final outing in No Time to Die. Would he simply hang up his suit and pass the mantle over to Lashana Lynch's MI6 agent Nomi? Or would it be in fact Bond's time to... you know?

As it goes, the latter turned out to be the case. But the act of the agent with a license to kill paying the ultimate price, after being infected by nanobots that would kill his love and daughter if he ever got physically close to them, in the closing stages of the epic finale wasn't the actual most painful fate on show here. That unwanted honour fell to Léa Seydoux's Dr. Madeleine Swann.

Safe from Safin's missile base island, Madeleine was forced to watch on from a distance as the love of her life and father to her daughter Mathilde spoke his final words to her via radio as a deluge of missiles rained down on the iconic spy. Helpless to aid Bond, the sight of Madeleine painfully accepting her new world without him acts as one of the most heartbreaking beats and fates of the entire series.
